Two brothers from Hiram Clarke, Texas had a family conflict that spiraled so out of control that it turned violent and then immediately after, one of the brothers ended up getting shot here. But the shooting wasn’t by his brother; it was a neighbor who mistook one of the brothers for an intruder and shot him.
That’s not to say that Leontay Wade, one of the brothers, was treated any better by his brother, Kenneth Jolivet. According to their mother, Shirley Jolivet, the two had a long rivalry owing to the fact they owned two competing smoke shops. Shirley told ABC13 that her son was willing to do whatever it took to “lure” his father and brother, so he first targeted her. She said, “He tied me up and held me hostage for six hours. He beat me, left bruises, and whipped me with extension cords.”
